Financial Transparency:

The DfE have published their response to a consultation on 'Financial Transparency of Local Authority Maintained Schools and Academy Trusts', which had taken place in 2019.

There are a small number of requirements that have direct implications for schools in 2020/21, which outline additional financial information that maintained schools must publish on their website:

Question:	Governor Response:
how many school employees (if any) have a gross annual salary of £100,000 or more in increments of £10,000.	None
